A DIGGING WELL


i encourage you to linger and soak in the presence of the Lord at every opportunity. When you draw near to Him, don't hurry and don't rush. Realize that this (or should be) at the top of your priority list.
Let God do a deep work in your heart and life.
This is the way God creates a "deep-bored" well in your life that will become an artisan well of power and glory in His presence.
The purpose of His presence is to bring deliverance to the captives
and victory to the children.

i thank God that He has given us access to His very presence because of the price of Calvary.
Many of us are still outside the courts..being busy with life, trying to overcome the
challenges and struggles of life by our own strength..
if only we realize, everything can be brought to right alignment
if we allow Him to do a deeper work..
in His presence.
but of course fixing the problem ourselves is a quicker way we think
in our fast paced life, where we want everything instantly
we have made Christianity so shallow and we have people who will split the scene
when life gets tough.
the process of digging is not easy, we won't like to see some stuff that
will surface in the midst of it..
but those are the very things He wants to remove that we
may soar with Him.
it may take a longer time and sometimes we feel
"How much longer Lord.."
just yield to His care, for He is at work in us
so that His glory will be shown.
it takes courage to just go deeper..
but ultimately it will produce greater fruit
greater depth
greater strength
greater wholeness.

Hi Jo! Finally, another new entry is up! Do you know how excited I am when I read that, especially the ones in the purple?

Yeah, sometimes we tend to fix things in our own ways as we have the perception that it's somehow a quicker way of solving things..that's not all.. sometimes life sends us changes we've never want to contemplate, probs we would just as soon do without, and inconveniences that we would rather not have to deal with.. They were overwhelming, altogether. Even so, many times we tried to suppressed things so that they don't emerge in our life again.. But the more we tried to suppresed, the more it surfaced..as it could be illustrated in an 'ice-berg model'. All we want is to see only the good things and only remember those good memories but God doesn't want us to always deny and be in the state of denial all the time. Things that need to be exposed needs to bring into His light so that we will never ever need to carry them anymore and we can stand together with Him, shinning brightly to testify His goodness. All I could say is that it's painful yet the results I've gotten at the end of the day is indeed fruitful and my life is indeed being molded beautifully to become more Christ-like by the Potter's Hand at work! It's somewhat true that it takes courage to go a little deeper each time, preparing our hearts before Him to experience His awesome presence! Truly, what it takes from us is ultimately obedience, patience and being faithful and without us realizing, blessings will be pouring non-stop in our lives! So, let's continue to seek Him and be in His presence for GREATER life breakthroughs!
